Thanks you all for answering my questions.
This is the code I typed in for minization:
$AMBERHOME/exe/sander -o -i min_kelly.in -o min_kelly.out -p
kelly.prmtop -c kelly.inpcrd -r min_kelly.rst
I added igb=6 and ntb=0 to my input file. ... (Thanks to David C. and
Carlos S :)
This is the error message I got (printed to terminal):
mdfil: Error unknown flag: min_kelly.in
usage: sander [-O|A] -i mdin -o mdout -p prmtop -c inpcrd -r restrt
[-ref refc -x mdcrd -v mdvel -e mden -idip inpdip
-rdip rstdip -mdip mddip -ng numgroup -remlog remlog -rem [0|1|2] -inf
mdinfo -radii radii]
Consult the manual for additional options.
Mr. Walker: I do not understand what you mean by this.
"How exactly are you running the minimizations - interactively or through a
queuing system?"
And I forgot to mention this: I'm running Amber 9 on Mac OS X 10.4.10
